Midlands man Holy Goof finishes up his first-ever solo UK tour close to home at the Rainbow Venues. While his sound is situated squarely within the nebulous world of UK bass music, a listen to his productions reveals the young DJ/producer’s ties to the 2007 bassline scene, with its emphasis on fast-paced beats and wonky low frequencies. As the sound of bassline has diversified and evolved into the abrasive hybrid it is today, Holy Goof has ridden the wave to become one of the most exciting prospects in UK bass music. Already he’s appeared on Boiler Room, started his own record label, received support from the likes of Chris Lorenzo, My Nu Leng and TQD – and it’s clear this is just the beginning.
